Bare Minerals shade

I would like to try Bare Minerals. What shade would I be in the loose. Also if I were to try the new "Ready" what shade. I did try the golden medium in this one. I was told to go up in color because it applies lighter. But way too yellow. So suggestions, aside from the obvious of going back to a store would be helpful. I would prefer to just order. Thanks

It's fine I think the Med Beige is going to be just fine. Also you may already know this but just wanted to let you know the ready foundation is more hydrating so if you have combo/oily skin you may want to get the loose.

Always no matter what they say if you have any doubts do the Medium Beige over 70% of us are going to use that color. So medium beige would be the right color in both the loose and the ready. Hope this helps!

I use med beige in bare minerals, but the matte which is ever so slightly darker than the original for some. i wore the original way back in the same shade and it was fine. Also I wear 120hd. and ready golden tan --- didn't find an exact shade in that. its about a little less than a half shade dark, med beige i found paled me out in the ready. so i use a fluffy brush and apply little or no bronzer when wearing it. I don't find it noticeably dark either.

I tested the BE shades in Sephora and picked up golden fair for my friend to try, she is fair and i am light-med neutral to yellow undertones. that and light are way too light for me and the golden medium pulled too yellow when i blended it out.

The link that Lylysa should be really helpful! The Make Up Forever foundation you are using is a yellow based foundation however, if you want something a bit more beige, I suggest the Medium Beige - for medium skin with neutral undertones and the Medium Beige - neutral tone in the Ready foundation will be a good match! It has an even balance of pink and yellow tones.

By chance have you checked out the actual Bare Minerals on Sephora page? It has a wonderful visual line up of not just the product color but also women and what shade they wear to help better identify with a shade:
